False Daiyu and her elder brother's life in the Red Mansion

I made an appointment with Daiyu to stay at Nan'an Prince's Mansion tomorrow for a few days, Nan'an Princess smiled and left Jia's Mansion, and Beijing Princess drank tea with Daiyu for half a day before leaving. Mother Jia was at a loss. After thinking for a long time, she asked someone to pass the message to the palace. If there was any news, Concubine Yuan must know a thing or two, but Concubine Yuan didn't know.

In a blink of an eye, the three-day agreement came to an end, Daiyu packed up her luggage and went to Nan'an County Prince's Mansion as promised, and presented some things that Lin Ruhai ordered to prepare as a token of her heart, but Nan'an Concubine and Nan'an Princess seemed very happy, Daiyu didn't know what was going on. For what reason, he only smiled slightly.

For a while, everyone had refreshments, and Princess Nan'an ordered the Princess to accompany Daiyu to her room. I don't know why the concubine suddenly invited me to come to the house as a guest, this kind of hospitality is really hard for me to refuse."

The princess smiled slightly: "You silly girl, let me tell you first, it's not a good thing, anyway, our sisters couldn't finish it so I called you here, I was just about to thank you, if it weren't for you, I would have Do you really not know what to do?"

Daiyu was very puzzled when she heard this, but she still didn't understand what it meant. Fortunately, Princess Nan'an brought Princess Nan'an and knocked on Daiyu's door.

"Yu'er, in fact, our Nan'an Palace wanted to ask you to help us with something this time, and we asked you to come because we really had no choice."

Concubine Nan'an opened her mouth first, and Princess Nan'an poured a cup of tea for Daiyu herself. Seeing the two of them like this, Daiyu was too busy to dare, and seemed very frightened.

Holding Daiyu's hand to indicate that she was fine, Concubine Nan'an continued: "It's a coincidence, it's just a pair of embroidery, because a Suzhou embroiderer invited by our family was ill, and we rushed to make it." The last piece of embroidery was put on hold, and nothing else was left. It happened to be a congratulatory gift for the empress dowager's birthday in three days. It would be too late to replace other pieces at this time, but the skill of the last few stitches She is the only one in the entire capital."

It turned out that this was the case, Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "It's not worth anything, I don't know if the concubine can ask me to look at the embroidery, I think I can see why, after all, I am in Suzhou When I grew up, my mother also worked hard to ask people to teach me in this regard."

The two of them originally meant this, and now Daiyu said it herself, which is good, but she didn't want Daiyu to call Qinglan who was beside her, pointed at her and said with a smile: "Although this girl is just a servant girl by my side, It's just that her embroidery is probably the best in Suzhou City, if it weren't for our family's son, I'm afraid she is the real one who is hard to find an embroiderer now."

Princess Nan'an didn't want the maid beside Daiyu to have this skill, so she hesitated in her heart. After all, Princess Nan'an was an older person with more knowledge, so she nodded with a smile. Who would have thought that after Qinglan saw the embroidery, she really smiled and said : "If I hurry up, I'm afraid I can finish it by this time tomorrow."

Concubine Nan'an didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and waited until the next day that Qinglan completed the pattern as scheduled, the level of delicacy was no less than that of her predecessor, and she took great care to bridge the differences in formation between the two. So no matter how you look at it, you can't see that it was done by the two together.

The two concubines of Nan'an Palace saw that it was done so well and so quickly, so they were very happy. They both praised Qinglan full of praise and rewarded many things. The Grand Concubine of Nan'an even held Daiyu's hand and said: "Thanks. You have such a dexterous girl by your side, otherwise, if you were to make a move, even though we really had nowhere to go to ask you, it would be a really outrageous thing. Anyway, I know you girl, so I won’t care about it These."

Seeing Concubine Nan'an's seriousness, Daiyu hurriedly smiled and said it was all right. Concubine Nan'an gave Daiyu various gadgets as a thank you gift. Seeing that Daiyu insisted on refusing to accept it, it was all right, but she finally forced her to accept it. Only one or two valuable items will be discarded.Seeing that nothing happened, Daiyu took her leave and went back to the Lin residence.

Two days later, it was the empress dowager's birthday mentioned by Concubine Nan'an. Daiyu also received the invitation to go with her on behalf of the Lin family. Princess Nan'an sat at the same table, next to them, and over there were Princess Beijing, Princess Dongping and Princess Xining.

Daiyu has never had any contact with Princess Xining. Princess Xining and the Prince of Xining are both secluded people, and they are all casual acquaintances. The Palace of Xining has always kept a low profile. Daiyu looked at Princess Xining's peaceful and peaceful appearance. Somehow I feel good about it.

Now the Jia Mansion does not have any real status in the court, but compared to the low-key of the Xining Palace, it is extremely extravagant, which makes the Xining Palace even more wise.

The birthday gift prepared by Daiyu and Lin Ruhai was not expensive, but full of sincerity. It was a Jade Avalokitesvara consecrated by Panxiang Temple in Yangzhou, so it could show the compassion of the Empress Dowager.

I still remember Lin Ruhai once said with a smile: "We are just ordinary people, so this birthday gift is more thoughtful. The emperor and the empress dowager are not those who are greedy for pleasure, glory and wealth. We don't need to spend a lot of money. It's a joke."

"I haven't seen Miss Lin for a long time. Now I see that you look good, but you look a little tired. I think you are a little girl who is busy with family affairs on weekdays. It must be hard work." Princess Dongping sat directly opposite Daiyu. Yu looked good and smiled.

Before Daiyu could reply, Grand Concubine Nan'an smiled and said, "Your family's daughter-in-law has already been settled, so don't think about Yu'er."

All the concubines laughed, Daiyu blushed and had to lower her head. Seeing this, Princess Beijing hugged her and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, our second brother is not engaged yet. Seeing that it would be a good thing if our Shuilin family got married, even though the second younger brother's temper is a little bit straighter, it would not be considered a insult to Yu'er's character."

Daiyu was too ashamed, so she covered her face and said with a smile: "My concubines are really bullying people."

There was another burst of laughter, and the banquet was opened for a while, the empress dowager sitting on it saw that there was a lot of laughter here, so she was also curious, the chief eunuch asked about it, then leaned into the empress dowager's ear and smiled: "How many people are there?" The princess of the county is joking with Miss Lin."

"Miss Lin, is that Miss Lin from the former royal censor who is now the Prince's Taifu's family?"

The Empress Dowager glanced over and caught a glimpse of Daiyu's figure. Seeing that she was very thin and looked very cute, she smiled slightly: "It seems that the clothes are not bad, but I don't know what her appearance is like? Now Seeing Concubine Nan'an's love so much, it must be a pain in the ass."

The steward was too eavesdropping and knew that the queen mother was interested, so he smiled and said: "If the queen mother likes it, just call me over to have a look. I heard that Miss Lin's temperament is not only gentle and docile, but also looks first-class. Jiangnan has always raised people, and Miss Lin is one of them."

"If it's not as good as you said, see if I don't peel off your skin." The queen mother thought for a while, and then said: "By the way, the Guanyin statue was sent by the Lin family."

The head eunuch thought to himself, this Lord Lin is being favored, why don't he say something kindly for him, this girl of the Lin family doesn't seem to be a simple person, so he should not underestimate him, so he said: "Exactly, There is also the "Diamond Sutra" copied by Miss Lin herself, packaged and delivered together, the servant boldly looked through it, although he didn't understand it, but it must have been copied carefully before being delivered."

The Empress Dowager nodded, thinking about something in her mind, and after a while, the banquet was almost over, so she pointed in Daiyu's direction: "Go and call Miss Lin over here and let me have a look."

Daiyu was chatting and laughing with Princess Nan'an, when she suddenly heard the queen mother tell her to come forward, the chief eunuch was full of flattery, after the princesses on the side exchanged meaningful glances, Princess Beijing laughed and said : "Yu'er, go quickly, don't let the empress dowager wait for you."

When she came to the Empress Dowager, Daiyu greeted her respectfully, and the Empress Dowager smiled and called Daiyu to come to her, and then she smiled and took her hand and said, "Everyone says you look good. I still don't believe it, but now that I've seen her, she really looks beautiful, and her demeanor is also extraordinary."

Daiyu hurriedly said that the Empress Dowager praised her absurdly, and the Empress, who was about to speak, also laughed and said: "This Miss Lin is the cousin of Concubine Yuan, but she came from the south of the Yangtze River. As expected, the water and soil there support people, just look at it." Unlike us."

She frowned, these words didn't make any sense, and she didn't know if she was overthinking, but Daiyu felt that these words sounded very harsh, but it was not easy to show it on her face, so she still smiled gently with.

Seeing that she was very well-behaved, and that she was more eye-catching, the Queen Mother liked it, so she pulled Daiyu and told her to sit beside her. Daiyu thought to herself that she was going to fall into the eyes of the whole capital. Unexpectedly, Princess Nan'an came to pay her respects after a while, because the Queen Mother mentioned the embroidery and said she liked it very much, so Princess Nan'an accused Daiyu, saying that she was afraid that she would be the one without Daiyu. I can't offer this gift anymore.

Knowing that Concubine Nan'an was trying to curry favor with the Empress Dowager, Daiyu was still a little displeased. When she left Suzhou, her brother had said that she was afraid that she would be involved in the right and wrong of those intrigues in the future. It's the beginning of the scene, but I can't avoid it.

Sure enough, before Daiyu returned to the Lin Mansion after the banquet, there were already a steady stream of greeting cards sent to her.Lin Ruhai had heard about this a long time ago, and he thought that Zhuang Ziche was already on his way, so that's very good.
